As expected the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled that the videotapes of the Prop 8 trial will remain unreleased. Hit the link for the full 24-page decision. (PDF)

Via Ian Millhiser at Think Progress, we learn that the city of San Francisco has sent an unusual request to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. Clearly, they fear civil unrest in the event of a decision against equality. In several prior instances when decisions have been issued relating to the marriage rights of same-sex couples, there have been large …

Below is the full hearing from Thursday. The first clip covers the argument against releasing the trial tapes. The second clip covers the argument that Judge Vaughn Walker should have recused himself for being gay. Both clips are highly instructive as to the vitriolic lengths our enemies are willing to go in their campaign of oppression.

“If you missed the hearing, count yourself lucky, for hardly ever in one courtroom have we been treated to the level of insult, bigotry, and stigmatizing trash that was presented by those defending Prop 8. [snip] It’s no wonder that the Prop 8 proponents are doing everything they can to distract attention from the real issues in the case and …

The final (probably) Prop 8 hearing before the Ninth Circuit Court begins at 2:30pm PST. It appears that there will be no streaming video from the court house, but San Francisco’s KQED will be providing live audio. I’m told the stream will be internet only, so if you regularly listen to KQED broadcasts online, you’ll need a different link. Supporters …

The final arguments begin at 2:30PM San Francisco time.

Yesterday the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals announced that it would simultaneously consider the appeal of the overturn of Prop 8 alongside a separate complaint that Judge Vaughn Walker should have recused himself for being gay. Chris Geidner reports at Metro Weekly: With today’s order, all of the questions relating to the validity and merits of the constitutionality of Proposition …

As many insiders predicted, today the California Supreme Court issued its opinion that the backers of Proposition 8 should have standing to defend the measure. The question had been punted to the California court by the federal Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, who will now take the opinion into consideration while formulating their own decision on the issue. And the …

In September the Log Cabin Republicans lost their bid to have DADT declared unconstitutional when a Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals panel of three judges declared that their suit had been made moot when Congress repealed the law. Today the Ninth Circuit refused Log Cabin’s appeal for an en banc (fully court) hearing of their case. Via LCR press release: …

Saying that the issue was rendered moot by last week’s implementation of the legislative repeal of DADT, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has overturned a lower court’s ruling that the law was unconstitutional. That case was brought by the Log Cabin Republicans, who have continued to press the issue should another administration attempt to reinstall the law. Chris Geidner …

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals had until September 30th to place a stay on the release of the videotapes of the Prop 8 trial. And they’ve done so. And now we wait for the haters to make their appeal. But hey, at least all those Christians won’t be murdered.

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled that Arizona may not revoke domestic partner insurance benefits for gay employees of the state. For now, Gov. Jan Brewer can suck it. In a unanimous opinion, the three-judge panel agreed the state is not obligated to provide health insurance for its workers or their families. “But when a state chooses to …

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has unanimously ordered the end of the enforcement of DADT for military forces worldwide. The ruling overturns the stay of an earlier such order by a lower court. Chris Geidner reports at Metro Weekly: The three-judge panel — Judges Alex Kozinski, Kim Wardlaw and Richard Paez — based the decision to lift the appellate …

Yesterday the Log Cabin Republicans filed a brief with the Ninth Circuit Court demanding the immediate end of DADT. The ban on openly gay soldiers remains in place while the Pentagon “certifies” that its repeal won’t harm military effectiveness. [Log Cabin] said that keeping the ban in place after President Barack Obama signed an order to repeal it is “absurd”. …

Today the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals denied the request to vacate their stay on the overturn of Proposition 8 and allow the resumption of same-sex marriages in California. Federal Judge Vaughn Walker ruled last year that Proposition 8 was unconstitutional and ordered that same-sex weddings be allowed to resume. That decision was appealed to the Ninth Circuit, where the …

California Attorney General Kamala Harris today filed a request with the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, demanding that they lift their stay on the overturn of Proposition 8 and immediately allow the resumption of same-sex marriages. Attorney General Harris said it is unlikely that an appeal will succeed in overturning Judge Walker’s ruling that Proposition 8 is unconstitutional. The appeal’s …

Even though the Imperial County idiots were essentially laughed out the courtroom on their last attempt, they are trying again and the newly elected county clerk has filed a request to defend Proposition 8 before the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. Via Rex Wockner, here’s the just-posted notice. Date: Fri, 25 Feb 2011 08:16:32 -0800From: [email protected] United States Court of …

The American Foundation for Equal Rights (AFER) has asked the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals to lift their stay on the overturn of Proposition 8, saying any delay “can no longer be justified.” Here’s a portion of their request: Today, the American Foundation for Equal Rights (AFER) and its legal team — led by Theodore B. Olson and David Boies …
